The Nike KD VII EXT ‘Longhorn State’ is a sneaker that honors the state of Texas, where Kevin Durant played his college ball. The sneaker’s upper is comprised of pony hair and adds a distinct aesthetic to the shoe right off the bat. To add contrast, Black is present on the suede-flocked midsole and mid-foot strap, while black leather also lines in the inside of the shoe. Representing the intersection of premium-fashion and athletic design, this sneaker is a nice change of pace from the traditional Kevin Durant signature shoe.

This time around, it arrives in a Black and Grey color palette. The sneaker sports a Lunarlon midsole and rugged rubber outsole for added traction.
